We are looking to have a small yet potent gathering of Bangalore's top Social Media junkies :) If you blog regularly and are on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare & Youtube, then attending this meetup is a must. Remember to be in the first 50 registrants.
Social Media Experts will each present for 15 min. and will cover the four leading Social Media channels:
1. Facebook - Deepan, Hash Cube
2. Twitter - Karthik S, Edelman India
3. LinkedIn - Shyam S, Catalyst Labs
4. Foursquare - Preetham Venkky, Catalyst Labs
Startup Showcase will feature three start-ups in Social Media. The presentations will be Pecha Kucha style i.e. 20 slides 20 seconds each. It will exciting to see presentations being made in a short time span.
Photo Booth Sessions will be used to snap candid photographs of all the attendees to be published on Mashable's Facebook Page and Flickr pool.
Catalyst Labs will host the meetup by extending the venue and taking care of all the arrangements. Oh! and we have sufficient parking all around :)

Posted by Rohan Eden June 30, 2010 at 11:59 AMThank you ALL for making Mashable Bangalore Meetup the largest in Asia. Looking forward to meeting you today.
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 30, 2010 at 10:55 AM@All - Thank you all for registering. We look forward to seeing you at the Meetup. Please refer to the Google Maps location for directions to the venue. We are situated off the Koramangala Inner Ring Road and hence easy to locate.
While Meetup.com will allow you to add your name on the site; we have finalised our roster based on those who have registered so far (Midnight, Tuesday, 29 Jun 2010). Unfortunately we will not be able to accept any more registrations this time.
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 30, 2010 at 12:06 AM@Vivek - Thanks for the help dude :) But for the time being we seem to have everything covered. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 29, 2010 at 9:32 PM@Preetham Hey I'll Be There Tomorrow. My Trip Was Canceled. If You Need Any Help Plz Ask Me.

Posted by Sorav June 29, 2010 at 7:41 PM@Sundresh - You are very well listed on the right. You need to look bottom up :)
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 29, 2010 at 3:40 PM@Preetham Venkky - Hi, a few days back I just signed in with fb account.. But now I am not able to see my name in the right hand side column of people who have confirmed for the meetup.. Please help me and add me too for this event. Thanks.

@SriramRavi - Signing in with your FB account is more than sufficient. All you need to ensure is that your name is listed on the right column :)
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 29, 2010 at 1:51 PM@Shweta - :) We have counted you in? Looking forward to seeing you at the Meetup.
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 29, 2010 at 1:50 PMI just signed in with fb account.. Is that it ? or any other mode of registration is required?
Posted by Sriram Ravi June 29, 2010 at 1:23 PMCount me in too!
Posted by Shweta Jade Sharma June 29, 2010 at 1:20 PM@Vivek @Janvi - Actually Vivek is right. But on ground we will be taking into account only registrations made before midnight today. Any registrations post that will NOT reflect on our roster at the registration desk at the venue hence will not be accepted.
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 29, 2010 at 11:56 AM@Janvi They Can't Close It. Because There Is No Option To Do Like That In Meetup Everywhere.
Posted by Vivek Rp June 29, 2010 at 11:43 AMHi Preetham, I have registered myself. To my surprise, you have not closed the registration as you told before. That's great to me since I am able to register myself for the event. I will surely be there. Cheers.

Posted by Preetham Venkky June 27, 2010 at 12:11 AM@Ravikiran - It very well does. You don't have to register with Meetup.com! I hope that clears it up?
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 25, 2010 at 10:06 PM@Preetham, what Rohan says is, does signing up using Facebook qualify as registration?
Posted by Ravikiran Sastry P V June 25, 2010 at 9:57 PM@Rohan - It's just the registration, nothing else required :)
Posted by Preetham Venkky June 25, 2010 at 9:50 PMHi Preetham, i'm guessing signing up for the meetup is the registration, or is there another process?
